Greetings Panzerwreckers. Ronald Stassen from Relive History 44-45 recently emailed me a correction regarding the Pz.Kpfw.IV on P56 & 57 of Panzerwrecks 16. Ronald says the photos were taken in Foy, not Recogne, as we wrote. I ran his comment past the guru of Bulge-related things, Timm Haasler, who confirmed this and said, “… that […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers. Ronny August touched base back in November (apologies for the delay Ronny) with a location for the Pz.Kpfw.IV on page 43 of Panzerwrecks 21. Over to Ronny: It was not recorded near Herrlisheim, but in Baerendorf/Grand Est, about 80 km away. As a comparison, here are the Google Streetview coordinates: Street View Link […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers. Martin Cavell recently touched base clarifying what the item is on the roof of the Beobachtungswagen on page 75 of Panzerwrecks X. Over to Martin: “Re-reading the excellent PW10, I figured something out, but it’s almost too trivial to share. P. 75, the Pz.Beob.Wg.IV. The “box like item” obscuring the TSR1 mount to […]

Over to Rudi: Page 37 The Pz.Beob.Wg.III in Houffalize: the top left pic shows clearly that this vehicle has two different […]
Perry Rowe got in touch with an update as to the location of the photos on pages 86-89 of Panzerwrecks 13: Italy 2. Over to you Perry: I was just looking through this again and noticed the caption to the series of pics pp86-89. Daniele Guglielmi has wrongly ascribed these to Salerno in Sept ’43 […]
Thanks for another welcome edition of Pz Wrks. The “old hare” Pz IV hybrid Ausf. F2 (Ausf.G) on page 70, 71 also appears on Page 5. Compare the: 1. Steel return rollers, (rare on this Ausf.) 2. The back-folded 8mm turret schürzen with AP round damage. 3. Spare track lying across the side fender. 4. Twisted […]
While we publish as many photos as we can on a given subject, we cannot publish everything that is relevant. A good case in point is the series of photos on page 52 to 60 of Panzertruppen – The Early Years. The photos came from a veteran’s album and, among other things, covered his training […]
